Cottrell’s $125 million expansion marks first phase of new Gainesville business park
The city of Gainesville wants to build a 1,300-acre business park off of Allen Creek Road and will work with the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce to recruit tenants. The city already owns the land.
Cottrell, a Gainesville-based maker of over-the-road car haulers and equipment, is planning to invest $125 million in a 500,000-square-foot plant in the city’s new 1,300-acre Gainesville 85 Business Park.
“With a nearly 50-year history in Hall County, Cottrell has been a valued member of Georgia’s advanced manufacturing community for decades,” Gov. Brian Kemp said in a press release Tuesday, Feb. 16, announcing the expansion. “It's great to see Cottrell double down on their investment in Gainesville and put highly skilled, hardworking Georgians back to work.”
